Miss Caitlin Moore presented on behalf of her fifth-grade students about their recent Chewaunkie trip, calling it "the smoothest trip we have ever had" and praising students and chaperones for their preparation. Students described activities including wood collection and processing, camp chores, a high ropes course, a farm tour where they planted lettuce and fed animals, and seeing live owls.
Students outlined what they learned: perseverance, teamwork, cooking over a fire, and handling challenges away from home. Miss Moore closed with a list of life lessons and advice for future participants: "Teamwork makes the dream work. Always be respectful. Listen to others. Be patient. Have a growth mindset and always try." Parents and a chaperone also addressed the board, noting strong student engagement, extensive daily activities, and logistical details such as long hikes and heavy packs that reinforced teamwork and resilience.
